progress bar while uploading multiple files in zotero

To begin with, I would like to convey my appreciation for a great product that Zotero is. I am migrating from Mendeley into Zotero and am quite liking what I see.

I have one request, given that I am uploading a library of over 3000 pdf documents (500 or so at a time) by drag and drop into Zotero and it takes some time (in hours) for each iteration, is it possible to have a progress bar that shows what is happening (similar to the one I see during pdf metadata extraction) so that I know what is happening in that time?
  • Not currently possible for technical reason. The next major version of Zotero will be able to handle this process in the background. It will also be possible in general to display a progress bar, though given that Zotero won't lock down, I'm not sure devs will decide to implement that.
